...I wake up at 6 am and change my alarm to 6.30, allowing myself a little more lingering. I get up in 5 or 10 minutes and get on with my day. Get ready for work and go to the subway station. It is always crowded and my only concern is to have enough space to keep my book open. Sometimes, reading in such trains is quite a challenge.

What I did notice lately was more people reading books while taking the subway train. Less papers and just empty stares. People actually read. Different ages, different books, some really soapy. But people do read. There are still those giving me killer looks because I dare keep my book open in a crowded train. Or those giving me ironic looks, of people thinking I read just to seem cool. But their numbers are decreasing.

Today, I was rushing to my office, almost running. I was not even close to late. But it was severely windy. Then, an hour later, I looked outside the window. It's bright, surrounded by warm sunlight.
